    Add-e, Go-e or Hidden power kit

    There are several of these new motors coming out. They are very interesting in concept, nobody here knows what they are like on the road because they don't exist yet. Expensive but made in Europe. Lots of attention to detail. If you can wait until November go for it! You will be our beta...

    Slipstreaming

    There is the classic video of the Brazilian (?) guys on YouTube at 110 km/h and a lycra in the comments crying scandal because one isn't wearing a helmet :) The guy bunny hopping the markers on the road has to be seen to be believed! I used to have a Fiat 126 so I know all about fuel economy on...

    Impending impact

    First ride on my GSM, first rain of the summer. "Stupid b..ch" in French escaped my lips, destined for the "lady" who had just pulled out from the stop sign. My last serious impact was in a Smart (car) doing nose over tail rolls in the Landes forest and I distinctly remember screaming "I don't...

    From what I read in the news you are going to kill them 'on site' so to speak. So burial is part of the plan so that you can say " We are keeping the Poles , they will never leave"...

    New Lipo charger arrives And first Lipo charging incident ensues... No! No white smoke, no projection of flames, no fried fingers. Sorry no real drama. A burning plastic smell told me something was amiss and the 10 year old converted PC power supply promptly made a "pop" sound and ceased to...

    Moustache 2017 bike prices

    9000€ for a toy shows which market they are aiming for. And people with that much money for toys will change them every few months. I would prefer two (his and hers) 4500€ trikes for the same amount of money.

    Guest Bike Conversion

    Sorry! They all say 20 A continuous that is what the BMS is set to I suppose. My 10.4 A is rated for 2C continuous and 3C peak. After thrashing around the Basque Country for 15 months it is only good for relatively flat roads or a return trip to the station. Unnamed cells are like the...

    Guest Bike Conversion

    Tongue in cheek laddie, tongue in cheek! Usually I don't put my arm out in emergency situations and brake with both hands. YMMV... Screaming "I'm turning you <kiwi farmer's son words go here>" works too when you hands are too busy to signal :D

    Guest Bike Conversion

    How do I signal I am turning to the right? I put my right hand out while gently squeezing the left (front) brake lever. :D Yes TD it can be done! :p Now don't get me started on being left handed (not me, two of my sons, who pointed this out to me) and having to change gears with the right hand...

    Rohloff/gearbox question/s!

    Found I can build an 11-15-17-20-24-29-34 from Shimano parts. With a motor the close spacing in the top of the range (15-17-20) is a little redundant.

    While mucking about on bike-discount.de of course I had to discover the CS-HG50 13-34... I'll try my 11-32 as soon as the weather permits but now I know I can make an 11-34 in 7 speed. 11-15-17-20-24-29-34...
